How many diets have you tried?

Have you tried surviving on cabbage soup or eating nothing but protein? Most people have tried all sorts of elaborate diets but end up either putting on more weight, having extreme cravings or feeling so sick that they just can’t continue.

Over the years of working in the health and fitness industry, I’ve discovered what fat loss programmes work through scientific research and trial and error. My evolution diet I have found to be by far the most effective and as you read on you will see why. For me, this isn’t even a diet but a healthy eating plan that I personally employ on a day to day basis.

Evolution explains why most diets fail

We only have to look back at our evolution to see why most diets fail. Many diets rely on a starvation principle that heavily limits the amount of calories you can consume on a daily basis. This does cause weight loss short term by muscle wastage and water loss but very little of this weight is actual fat. These starvation diets actually cause us to store fat for survival and in turn put on more weight in the long term.

Heavy calorie reduction causes a severe reduction in leptin (protein), which in turn signals a starvation response in our body. This response reduces our metabolic rate and increases our hunger. It is believed that this response originates back to our ancestors and the “Hunter Gather Days”, when food was often scarce. Our body’s developed a way to conserve its most valuable energy source, body fat, in order to survive longer.

So starvation or heavy calorie restricted diets are not the answer. Not only do these diets cause you to put on more fat in the long term (yo yo dieting) but they also slow down your metabolism, the exact thing you need to increase to burn more fat.

The best way to lose weight is to eat natural

Everyone is different and we all have different requirements for vitamins, minerals and general nutrients; a lot of this is determined by our genetics and cannot be changed. However, we do all have one thing in common – we evolved eating natural foods. Foods that we picked from trees & bushes, dug out of the ground or animals that we chased down and killed.

Although the world has evolved at a very rapid rate our bodies have not. We are still uncomfortable sitting for long periods of time, require regular exercise, get headaches and eye problems using computers, suffer in really over crowed areas etc.

Our body’s still crave and require the natural foods we ate and drank many years ago. Processed foods, simple sugars, contaminated water, and artificial stimulants are still alien to our bodies. All of these unnatural products (toxins) are stored in our fat cells while our body decides what to do with them.

We are suffering from an internal anxiety as our body stores toxin after toxin!
